Thanks for that but I don't understand when I want to create a new shortcut in the iphone, the App Workoutdoors is not present ... Do you have an idea ?
Got a tip for us?

Apps WorkOutDoors: New workout features

There is no "ghost" function at the moment where you can compare your stats against a previous workout, but that is in my plans.
In the meantime you can set a Target Pace in the settings and then if you use the Target profile in the Screen configuration then you will see metrics showing how far ahead or behind that pace you are in terms of time or distance. If there is a map then you will see a yellow dot representing the position of someone moving at the target speed.
There is similar functionality for a target pace range when using intervals, with red and green dots for the minimum and maximum values in the range.
Obviously a target pace is not as good as comparing against a "target workout", especially on hilly routes, so I plan to add a target workout / ghost feature in the future. Probably after I have improved the navigation to follow routes.
I am using the route and map functionality for trail running. I am wondering if there is a possibility to have a graph showing the elevation profile and my current position. This would allow me to understand the difficulty ahead of me.
That is in my plans. At the moment the app does not "follow" where you are on the route, so it cannot show an elevation graph or remaining time/distance/ascent metrics.
However improved navigation features (including this) are high on my to-do list.
Do you mean that you can see intervals but not splits? That is because the file only allows one type of split. If the workout has intervals then the app sends those by default, but if it does not have intervals then it sends laps.
Intervals take priority because systems should be able to calculate same size lap splits (e.g. 1 mile or 1 km) from the data anyway.
You can change this to always use laps even if the workout has intervals if you wish. To do this go to the Export Options in the Settings tab on the iPhone app and disable the "Export Intervals as FIT laps" option.
I think the distant remaining works only when you settle the distance in setting before the workout, not about the GPX.Just to confirm, you mean that not even the distance remaining will work?
Yes, this is what that metric is for. If you set a fixed distance at the start of a workout, or if you use an interval schedule where the app can calculate an estimated total distance, then this metric will show the remaining distance.
In the future I will make this metric show the remaining distance for the currently selected route, but even then if the user has selected a fixed distance or an interval schedule then that will take priority.
It depends how the testing goes. Also I am trying to find out how to control what happens when both the action button and the side button are pressed at the same time. Apple say that it should pause the workout but it just does the same as the action button operation for me.
How does one get on the beta list? Asking for a friend who really wants to try the action button with WOD 
Email info@workoutdoors.net. Thanks.How does one get on the beta list? Asking for a friend who really wants to try the action button with WOD
Yes, cadence should be included in the FIT file if you are using a cadence sensor when cycling.
iOS: Settings > Interval Schedules > Running Schedule (or whatever sport you’re using) > Regular Notifications (at the bottom): No.
Alternatively you can set it for each individual Interval workout step that you create (which is one of crazy detailed customizations of this app, but it’s great if you’d like to really nerd out on the details!).
Just a simple note for @cfc
You've developed an amazing app and I can't wait for my Watch Ultra. I've been using WOD on my Watch Series 5 for almost 3 years and it is such a bliss to use.

Hi Ian, thanks for the beta I ve tested today during my long workout. All is fine for me. Action button works well and it is very useful. One thing, I prefer the elapsed time without the « … » which remplace seconds. For an half marathon for exemple, it is important to know near the arrival of you are at the beginning of the minute or a the end ! ( psychologicaly). Is there a way to create an option to chose ?
Thanks a lot again for your work 😉
Thanks a lot again for your work 😉
You can choose all the option you haved before in the settings like one tap, double tap, swep etc…. Personally I choosed the fonction new interval when pressed.
